no matter what your feelings are about joel osteen, john piper, td jakes, or john calvin you can't deny the fact that as christians suffering & poverty are in our dna. the greatest danger that we christians here in america face is to forget that millions of our brothers & sisters in every other country in the world live in unspeakable poverty & suffering & yet are still committed to christ, still experiencing joy, & still bearing fruit.

Piper has changed the face of christianity for all people of the 20th and 21st century. The Lord is truly glorified thorugh John Piper. Thank the Lord for someone like Piper to carry out this message all over the world with books and sermons and missinary works.

exactly, and what is eternal life? And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.(John 17:3)

oh yeah, definitely.....God made the world, so who else is going to give us what we have. but Jesus died for us to save us and give us eternal life, he didn't die so we could have good health or a lot of money

okay, but I think it's important to clarify that God is the provider of health and wealth, and though I agree that people should not get saved because of those alone, it is a mistake to think that those are not provided by God.

cschultink (December 31, 1969 at 5:59 pm)

yeah, hes talking specifically about the health and wealth gospel, not the gospel in general
